Are Naked Pictures of Kanye West Being Sold?

For several reasons this title needs to be phrased as a question. Not least because the original source of this story, Radar, isn’t exactly known for its accuracy or fact-checking; Tila Tequila’s ‘pregnancy’ ultrasound pictures, anyone? Whatever. It’s being alleged that there are multiple pictures of a naked Kanye West being sold. West allegedly took pictures of his pay-nis and sent them to a bunch of women. Women who are angry because they hate pay-nises. Seriously. Who wouldn’t appreciate free d**k pictures? Do you know how long it takes to Google decent ones that aren’t all about the dude’s taint? These supposed photos, being shopped by women to several media outlets, are said to have become a problem because West email flirted with women on MySpace.

Radar has seen the two images. Both of which leave little to the imagination. One image shows a nude Kanye from the chest up, wearing sunglasses and a gold chain, while the second photo shows the singer’s genitals exposed from his boxer briefs. [The Huffington Post]

Kim Kardashian Willing to Hook-up for Publicity

Well, specifically, she said she’d be ‘down for some hook-ups’ as everyone tries to get her to date as a single girl.  But, I read that as, ‘I have a new show and hanging around with single guys is a great way to get attention’. Not that it matters, she pretty much only has to poop or pick her nose, at the same time if she’s feeling fancy, for me to cover the waste of time that is her whole life. Kim Kardashian and eldest sister Kourtney Kardashian have moved to New York for no reason other than to set-up a DASH store, pose, and stand in empty retail spaces while mugging for cameras alongside Kanye West (who has a bunch of time on his hands to give her some free publicity before the release of his forthcoming album). Pictures of that below. Having hours worth of footage to fill, and nothing exciting to do, Kardashian is ready to hook-up with random people at the behest of single-haters around her for the Kourtney and Kim Take New York cameras.

‘I never have really given it a shot to be single,’ the reality star, who turns 30 later this month, tells Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. ‘I tried to play that role, but I really wasn’t single. And now, I’m really officially on my own, and I’m in a whole different city.’ Since arriving in NYC in particular ‘everyone is now trying to hook me up,’ she says. ‘In a way, since I hate meeting new people and I hate that first dating thing, it’s kind of reassuring to know, ‘Okay, this [person] knows them, so maybe they’re normal’, I’d be down for some hookups’. Pictures show West, and Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, filming in NYC, NY on October 4.

Kanye West Announces Details for Fifth Album

Kanye West is on Twitter again. But, have no fear. You can come out of that crawl-space under your house saved for such emergencies. He’s only tweeting about his album. And, he’s using relatively cohesive and easy-to-understand sentences. Actually, since I can understand what he’s writing, I could swear it’s not even really him. Well, whomever is tweeting using mainly capital letters on West’s smashed ‘Berry, has revealed the full title for West’s fifth album, previously mainly referred to as Dark Twisted Fantasy. Basically, the full name is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy; a title lambasted by MTV Newsroom for its lack of punctuation, lack of imagination, and sounding ‘like something a melodramatic 15-year-old girl would write in her dream journal’. The first song on the album will be Dark Fantasy, produced by The Rza and co-produced by West and No I.D.. His recent G.O.O.D. Fridays track also will make the album. West had previously tweeted that the album would be released on November 22.

Kanye West Performs Runaway & Power on SNL


Kanye West Saturday Night Live Power and Runaway performance video.

Kanye West has been allowed back on live television after behaving himself at this year’s VMAs. It’s nice to see he can be let off his short leash to perform and not screw things up. Actually, by all accounts, the rapper killed it with his two performances on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live as broadcast Saturday September 2, 2010. West performed the first single from Dark Twisted Fantasy, formerly entitled Good Ass Job, as well as his follow-up single Runaway. Y’all didn’t seem to know what the heck to make of the preview for that video. Nor did I. But, the song itself is passable. Both songs are shown in the video.

Kanye West Previews 40 Minute Runaway Video

Kanye West has released a preview for his forthcoming video, his overcompensation for the 2-minute-long Power video. That was such a little piece of video that I initially thought I was watching an overlong preview in itself; some kind of precursor to this type of near hour-long self-indulgent clusterf**k. It wasn’t. It was a two-minute-long video that ended the second it reached any kind of crescendo in one of the  biggest musical anti-climaxes I’ve ever experienced. Hopefully this will fare better. Above is a preview of West’s upcoming 40-minute-long music mini-movie, Runaway. Its actual release should coincide with the release of Dark Twisted Fantasy, his re-named album.

Kanye West to Perform at Video Music Awards

Kanye West revealed on Twitter that he is returning to the Video Music Awards, after screwing over Taylor Swift back in 2009. The over-excitable rapper, as you may remember, stormed the stage and snatched a microphone off the singer. He was booed and publicly chastised… for altogether too long. He’s back with new music and is probably going to perform his single, Power, the music video for which was so confusing/ odd I couldn’t stop convulsing long enough to post it.
